Our mission is to provide easy-to-use and reliable AI-based decision support for the assessment, monitoring, and management of respiratory diseases.
The Problem
A Public Health Crisis
Respiratory diseases affect millions of people worldwide. The threat of emerging diseases with pandemic potential, like COVID-19, is increasing in the wake of climate change and globalization, highlighting the urgent need for greater responsiveness with decentralized care.
Traditional diagnostic methods can be inaccessible, time-consuming, and costly, while human interpretation of lung sound auscultation is often uncertain and variable, leading to misdiagnoses and increased healthcare costs. To address these challenges, innovative solutions are required to streamline the diagnosis and management of respiratory diseases, empowering both patients and healthcare professionals to work towards improved health outcomes.
Outdated tools, mounting costs
Respiratory diseases affect over 500mn people globally and cost in the U.S. alone $170bn each year. And yet, the stethoscope, which remains the most widely used diagnostic device, has not evolved in over two centuries — leaving lung auscultation highly subjective.
Missed or delayed diagnoses
Unnecessary referrals

Transform respiratory care
Onescope’s mission is to transform respiratory care with two primary objectives.
First, we equip healthcare professionals in hospitals and home care — starting in Europe, then the US — with a standardized respiratory workflow that improves outcomes and reduces costs.
Second, the same platform is built to democratize access to high-quality respiratory care in low- and middle-income countries, at access pricing through donor and public-health programmes — the business we build in high-income systems is what puts the same intelligence in the hands of the child who needs it most. Pneumoscope is built to give healthcare professionals and patients rapid pulmonary checks, real-time analysis and structured findings — supporting proactive disease management for patients and healthcare systems alike.
